The End of October

I spent my Halloween seeing one of my best friends give birth to a beautiful baby Boy, his name is Jack. We're calling him Jack the Pumpkin King. He is amazing. It was amazing. I have pictures. I started October seeing a baby be born, and ended it with seeing a baby being born. Amazing doesn't even...it's amazing, though that word doesn't do it justice. Someone (my mother...and whoever YOUR mother is) went through all that mess for you. It's hard work, I will never take it for granted, never again. 

Meet Jack, he's like 12 hours old. :)

I also spent today fighting and being mad at my intended for something idiotic. Much plays into this, hormones, and bad memories (a year ago, I got drunk with a guy, a bad guy, and as stupid with him in my car in the back woods of Virginia...). It is hard for us right now, to be so close, and feel so far away from what we truly want. Honestly, it's not about sex (we haven't slept together yet, we chose to wait)(which is the best choice for us...and honestly, for most people, even if they don't know it) it's all about sleeping next to him, seeing him off to work, cooking breakfast, and dinner, do laundry...and dishes. I like those simple domestic things, and I like doing them for him. I can't just yet, it wrecks havoc on us, both of us. We know what we are waiting for, and we are trusting in that hope. 

But in the end, it was a wonderful day, and I am happy, and I am blessed, and I am tired. Good night all, Happy 31st of October. I hope some y'all got some candy, and the other half of you smiled more than thrice this day! 

A Starting

A good friend of mine, ok, a best friend of mine, started a blog, and I get after her all the time to publish a post. So I decided tonight that if she could do it, so could I! So here I go (let's see how long it lasts shall we friends!)

My name is Maddie. I'm getting married soon, you might see a lot about that for a while, but it's not all that my life is about. Most of my life is about God, the Lord, Yaweh. The ONE God, I Am. He's pretty much what I'm all about. At least, that's what I aim for. That's why the title of this little blog is GodArt. I am GodArt. His art, his creation, is in me. I am it. I have to remind myself of that a lot. Because like so many girls, I never thought that I was beautiful, that I was worthwhile. 

I'd like to kinda use this space as a place to post about my weight struggles, to hopefully gain some support, and maybe even get some tips from people. I've been over weight most of my life, I was never small, nor do I think I ever will be. However, I think that I could be healthier. Now that I am going to get married, and might possibly have children soon, I want to be in the best shape of my life. That's the goal, anyways. (Not to mention that I'm gonna be in TONS of pictures, and I have to look AWESOME!) (not that I don't, I mean, c'mon...I'm GOOOOOD LOOKING!). 

I just like to write, and I'm ok with sharing. I tend to be very real with people. I like to talk and show and share, I think that's how people help one another, truly, when we are honest. 

I should also tell you that I like to craft, so you might get some craft posts on here as well! Simple things that everyone can do, those are my favorites!

Oh! And photography! You might get some photos too! Like this one! 

That's all I have for now folks! I'll post more some other day!
